The victim had tried to get out of his relationship with Sanders-Ford.

"He had actually sought an ex parte to get her from harassing him, or being around her. His wife was granted an ex parte, the victim's wife, which we had served on the suspect on the eleventh of this month, telling her to stay away from the residence and the family," says Newton County Sheriff Ken Copeland.

"The victim was currently married. From what information we've gained, it appears as though some type of personal relationship with the defendant," says Copeland. "I know he had a personal relationship with her, and he had tried to end it."

Copeland says an ex parte was also served from the victim's son towards the suspect.

Sanders-Ford is being charged with armed criminal action and first degree murder. The body of John Jordon has been sent away for an autopsy.
